Critically Low

Critically Low

Holy smokes.  Rolled into the parking lot this morning at 5:27 and couldn’t find a spot to park.  Thought I was going to have to valet the car, but then would any of us out there really trust another one of us to valet their car, without a joy ride or some donuts in the parking lot?  Squeezed it in between Fletch and another ride.  Grabbed the bell and found my way into a tight spot within a circle way to small to fit the 23 men in attendance.  Is that some sort of record at Meathead?  Does Brown even have enough “Brotien” shakes and bars to share with that many.

I had to quickly change the weinke, as I had planned on 45 minutes of TGU’s AMRAP.  Then I figured there was just too many guys to teach how to do TGU’s, so we will try something else.

Gather in a circle, or just stand where you are for the warm up.  20 SSH IC, 20 2-Handed swings OYO, and 5 slow prying squats.  Warm?  Warm enough? Either way, time to get into the meat of this.

Round 1:

10 – One handed swings right

10 – One handed swings left

10 – Sumo Deadlift High Pull

10 – Tricep extensions

10 – Merkins

Repeat round 2 more times, increasing reps to 15 and then 20.

Round 2 – Same as round 1 but with:  Snatch right, Snatch Left, RDL Right, RDL Left, KB Curls, Merkins

Round 3 – Same pattern:  High Pull Right, High Pull Left, Goblet Squat, Overhead press, Merkins

Round 4 – Same pattern:  Cleans Right, Cleans Left, Good Mornings, OH lat pull (lying on back), Merkins

Brown says we don’t do Mary at Meathead, and we are out of time.

Done.

Moleskine:

I did not expect so many at Meathead this AM, but happy to see all the men out ready to put in some work.  Tolkien (site FNG) brought out the Injured Reserve with Mr. Brady (Site FNG) and Turkey Leg.  Apparently some side marketing also brought out Hairball.  Tiger Rag taking a does of his own medicine when he said KB’s help the core and make you a stronger runner.  It had been so long we had to remind him which way to hold the KB (He still doesn’t curl the KB).

Somehow I got stuck right in the middle of the 2 site Q’s, High Tide and Brown, they crushed it, but I really think they thought I was going to screw it up and need to step in.  Header and Chin Music did some work out there, and talked about it the entire time.  They are competing for the 8th grade girls “most talkative” crown.  Clear winners there.  Not to take away from Fletch, TR, and Hairball on the chatting it up other side of the circle, but those 2 were just closer to me.

Mad was out there with a Ruck on.  #Strong.  This sucked with just the KB, would not want to do it with a Ruck as well.

Pulled out a new playlist on Pandora this morning and I liked it for the most part.  If you didn’t then you sign up to Q and pick whatever smooth jams you want.  Round 3 went about 25 seconds too long because Paradise City was finishing up.  You can pause Axl with 25 seconds left in Paradise City.  You just can’t.

I over estimated the charge in the Bluetooth.  The high volume and cold weather sucked that last 60% out of it with 4 minutes left.  Hope you enjoyed the suffering in silence.

The Hoff (Where did he end up anyway, 2 year disabled list?) used to always throw on the #’s on the lifting workouts.  So here goes (If you completed the routines) 180 Merkins, 790 KB Lifts, and 40 SSH.  Stick that in your Fitbit and smoke it.  If the average guy had a 35# KB then you lifted about 14 tons this morning.  More than the rest of the sissy’s in your office are going to lift this month.   #Swole.

Thanks to Hairball for the sendoff and to Brown and High Tide for the opportunity to lead.

For those who have interest, the next up song we missed on Pandora was AC/DC “For Those About to Rock” and I salute you all for the efforts this morning.
